A San Diego mother accused of trying to drown her nine-month-old baby in a bathtub has pleaded not guilty to felony charges.

UT San Diego reports (

) the defense had considered entering an insanity plea for 22-year-old Whitney Renee Holman.

When that did not happen Tuesday, the judge kept Holman's bail at $1 million and scheduled a July 3 status conference.

Defense attorney Pamela Lacher asked the judge to allow visitation between Holman, who is in county jail, and her daughter. Lacher said Holman is now on medication, which has made her "a totally different and more lucid individual."

The judge denied the request, keeping a stay-away order in place.

Holman was charged with premeditated attempted murder and felony child abuse following her arrest May 10.
